I think our favorite peditum senex is saying that's where Dawkins's amp is set. I think it was The God Delusion I read, just to see if he really did say that Science could solve everything as was claimed by someone in the anti-Dawkins camp. Eleven sounds like a pretty good one word summation.

Whilst we're here, I should mention that there are two reconstructed PIE roots dealing with farts and farting: *pezd- (A-H and Pokorny) 'to fart loudly' and perd- (A-H and Pokorny) 'to fart'. Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Depends what annoys you I guess. But... 1. Is there such a thing as 'the Intelligent Design Camp' per se? 'Intelligent Design' is as broad a term as 'Theist' or 'Humanist' or 'Muslim'. I don't think it's that centralized. It includes people ranging from fundamentalist Christians to Agnostics. 2. Dawkins is only one person, whereas 'The Inteeligent Design Camp' are many. Even if he is only almost as annoying, that's quite an achievement for an individual.
